I've played many of the PopCap hidden object games and this was a mildly diverting change of pace involving a basic plot, but unfortunately, clicking around the screen randomly appears to be a more successful tactic than actually trying to find the objects, particularly when I couldn't click an object that was supposed to be selectable (the matches for me). It's a functional game, with reasonable graphics & sound assets but there's maybe 90 minutes of gameplay (I was AFK for most of my playtime), which I don't believe is worth the £5.50 I paid. If this was part of a series I might consider recommending a package, if it was cheap, but for the moment, I would say don't buy.

Taryn Sharpe was tasked to interview a chief in Paris and ended up to investigate his murder, along with the photographer George Haske. In the end, well, she will live the adventure of her life! The plot, while interesting, is missing something: good writing. I was bored during all the game because of a love triangle, then, which is in reality more complex, without forgetting the great names that were chosen for the characters (come on, Chou as name?). By the way, why have two characters icons if you can't switch between them? I don't mind list of items on list of items as I'm used to this gameplay but after a moment, when the plot is boring or when you're passing from scene to scene without a lot of search, you're suffering from that. Some items aren't even easy to spot and the rare minigames are too easy. Also, the game is too short too. More or less one hour. For the price, it's too little. I wanted to give the game a chance but in the end, apart the correct graphics, the correc...
t's a pity it's so short, but it was a refreshing break from the other HoGs I play. The few puzzles were pretty simple so no need to skip anything. I really enjoyed the music. If the game happens to be in a bundle or on sale, I suggest you give it a go at least once.
Short but good. Easy to follow.
TO SHORT AND NO VOICE WHEN THEY TALK. NOT A GOOD GAME NOT WORTH THE $9.99
